Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fishing techniques lack an effective method to attract and hook fish, as they do not mimic the natural movement of prey, leading to reduced fishing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A fishing vibrator mounted on a fishing pole, comprising a housing with a battery, vibrating motor, offset flywheel, switch, u-shape pole rubber attachments, and a hook and loop system, which creates a wave motion in the fishing line to mimic prey, attracting fish and allowing for easy attachment and recharging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a fishing vibrator is mounted on a fishing pole to create wave motion in the fishing line, then the ability to attract fish is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefishing efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies mechanical vibration through an off-center weight on the spool that rotates to create periodic vibrations in the fishing line. This mechanical vibration system mimics natural prey movement and significantly improves fish attraction and biting behavior, directly addressing the productivity enhancement while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

Solution Approach 2:

The fishing vibrator device is designed with universal attachment capabilities through multiple attachment methods (rubber bands, clips, ties) that can be applied to various fishing pole types. This multi-functionality allows the same device to work across different fishing scenarios and equipment, improving productivity without requiring multiple specialized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If the fishing vibrator is designed with fixed attachment to the fishing pole, then the stability of attachment is improved, but the adaptability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment stabilityVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic attachment methods that can be easily adjusted or removed by the user. The attachment system includes rubber bands that can be stretched and repositioned, clips that can be opened and closed, and tie locations that can be moved along the handle. This dynamic design maintains stable attachment during use while allowing easy reconfiguration for different poles, balancing reliability with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If the fishing vibrator uses a non-rechargeable battery, then the device complexity is reduced, but the loss of time increases due to battery replacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidtime loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a rechargeable battery system with a removable battery pack that can be recharged when not in use. This allows the battery to be recovered and reused multiple times, eliminating the need for continuous battery replacement. The battery pack can be removed from the housing and recharged externally, significantly reducing time loss while maintaining acceptable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
